I’m a jewelry artist and metalsmith working in Northern California. I earned my BA in Jewelry and Metalsmithing from Humboldt State University in 2000, where I studied under David LaPlantz and trained in fabrication, stone setting, casting, forging, raising, and mokume gane.

After graduating, I spent several years with independent jewelry companies, refining my craftsmanship and gaining experience in production management and quality assurance. Today I produce fine jewelry with a retail firm, and I still take on one-of-a-kind commissions.

I also teach as a community art educator (explore my educational offerings).

If you have an idea for a custom piece, I’d love to hear it. Get in touch to start the conversation.
